Numbers performed by the cast at the recent presscon for the show. My phone-cam does a crappy job capturing the true vocal power of these classically-trained singers (for starters--look, no mikes!). A sentimental favorite, because I'm Bicolano: Sarung Banggi, sung by baritore Lawrence Jatayna and soprano Janine Santos, at 4:25 in the first video clip.

The Philippine Opera Company's “Ang Bagong Harana,” a musical journey that offers fresh takes on immortal and classic Filipino songs as performed by the some of the country’s foremost classically-trained singers and artists, will have a limited run on September 29-October 1, 8 p.m., with matinee at 3:30 p.m. on October 1, at the Carlos P. Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati.

The word “Harana” is the Filipino name of a traditional form of courtship in which a man woos a woman’s affection by singing underneath her window. The creation of each “Harana” suite is a product of thorough research with the commitment to preserve indigenous Philippine music and its appropriate dance and folklore.
